A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 499 Rosemary is getting old and dying

In the library of the Mage Tower, Denoz, dressed in a mage's robe, was searching for the book he wanted.

"The most recent book on higher elements, I think it's this one?"

Because some books possess power, mental scanning is prohibited in the library to prevent problems.

Although Jiang Shuzhou did not build a floating city, he did expand the mage tower, which is now eighteen stories high and possesses considerable power, capable of suppressing legendary-level mages.

Therefore, naturally, Denozzi could not break the rules.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou is an exception, since he is the master of the mage tower.

Denozhi reached out and pulled out a book.

"No, it's this one."

Jiang Shuzhou chuckled and handed Denozhi a book, which was "The Theory of Higher Elements".

"Professor? Is your research finished?"

Denozhi took the book, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I came to see you as soon as it was over."

"I heard you've advanced to the Saint Realm? How long ago was that?"

The professor remembers me; he has me in his heart!

When Denuozhi heard that Jiang Shuzhou had come to check on her as soon as he came out of seclusion, she felt a warm glow inside.

"It was five years ago. The professor was doing an experiment at the time, so I didn't disturb him."

"Good boy/girl."

Jiang Shuzhou reached out and vigorously stroked Denuozhi's head.

"Mmm, stop touching me, I'm all grown up now."

Despite this, Denoz showed no sign of resistance and even went along with it.

This left Renodia, who was standing nearby, stunned.

She thought she had already flattered enough, but she didn't expect there to be an expert?

"If there's anything you don't know, I'll teach you."

Now that Denozhedu is in the Holy Land, it's time for Jiang Shuzhou to personally teach her some things.

"Lenottia, play some music."

As if instructing a smart assistant, Jiang Shuzhou gave the order.

Upon hearing this, although somewhat reluctant, Renaultia still chose to forgive.

"Professor, there's something I don't understand..."

Without hesitation, Denoz sat directly in Jiang Shuzhou's lap, arched his back, and asked a question.

Jiang Shuzhou naturally answered all questions without holding anything back.

In some respects, Denozzi's talent was the best among these people.

Although Grace learns things quickly, that's because she was a legendary mage who had lost her memory. After regaining her memory, although she still addressed Jiang Shuzhou as her master and disciple, she was never the one Jiang Shuzhou had trained from the beginning.

There's no sense of nurturing or raising a child.

Denorchi, on the other hand, is completely different.

She was picked up by Jiang Shuzhou from the Witch's Forest like trash.

Although initially it was for the combat power of that strange object.

However, it must be admitted that Denozzi has great talent. Although it took her thirty years to become a Saint, and her achievement is not as high as Jiang Shuzhou's, it is still quite remarkable.

After all, not everyone can be as monstrous as Jiang Shuzhou, who managed to become a Saint in less than ten years while simultaneously starting a business, inventing, and cultivating.

All I can say is that their talent is off the charts.

Throughout the history of the Mage Alliance, Jiang Shuzhou's existence has been quite explosive.

Perhaps it can be said that he is unprecedented and will never be surpassed.

"Therefore, the essence of elements is that they are the foundation of everything that constitutes time..."

And so, accompanied by the light and melodious music played by Renaultia, Denozhi spent an unforgettable day in Jiang Shuzhou's arms.

"Okay, that's all for today. Come find me tomorrow, and I'll continue teaching you."

Jiang Shuzhou picked up Denuozhi from his arms and put her down before leaving.

"Okay, Professor, see you tomorrow."

In an instant, Denoz wished he could knock himself unconscious and make time jump to the next day.

However, she ultimately held back.

Jiang Shuzhou, looking at the message in the mage's mark, felt a surge of emotion.

That was the legend of the Akmond family, a message Kosoroya sent him.

Rosemary is dying.

It has few words, but the content is not simple.

Rosemary is getting old and dying.

This means that a new round of competition has begun.

But for Jiang Shuzhou, this meant that his plan could be implemented.

Jiang Shuzhou has always coveted the treasury of the Aowei Empire.

Even now, it's the same.

After all, some things can't be bought with money.

No matter how rich Jiang Shuzhou is, he can't buy that many legendary materials.

This can only be achieved through accumulation.

After all, other legends accumulated their wealth over thousands or tens of thousands of years. How could Jiang Shuzhou possibly catch up in such a short time?

Although Jiang Shuzhou killed a group of legendary figures and obtained some resources, it was far from enough.

Moreover, Jiang Shuzhou also received news.

The blasphemous priesthood he had been searching for was located in the treasury of the Ovi Empire.

The reason Jiang Shuzhou didn't know was simply because Rosemary didn't want to give this thing to Jiang Shuzhou to improve his strength.

What else is there to say? Let's just rob it.

Jiang Shuzhou had heard a little about the current state of the Ovi Empire.

Due to the Dragon Plague, although Rosemary's reforms created an extremely tense atmosphere within the Imperial nobility, the disaster also helped maintain considerable unity within the nobility to prevent internal strife and being defeated one by one.

This, to some extent, mended the crumbling empire.

But this is not a good thing.

After all, some conflicts are not resolved, but rather they are still accumulating.

Like a spring, the tighter it is compressed, the greater the final rebound.

We're currently in the midst of a dragon plague, so it's not advisable to unleash our power yet, but what about later?

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou's secret techniques also played a significant role in this.

Many nobles were betrayed by their servants or even their own children and stripped of their titles because of Jiang Shuzhou's secret methods.

Sons kill their fathers, inferiors overthrow their superiors, and commoners and nobles kill each other.

This is all thanks to Jiang Shuzhou.

The empire is slowly collapsing.

Now, only one piece of the puzzle is missing.

That was a grand division.

As for how it splits?

Rosemary was very old and frail; she was already halfway to the grave.

She has fifteen children, all of whom have inheritance rights.

Originally, there could only be one winner, but Jiang Shuzhou was prepared to be merciful.

After all, when Jiang Shuzhou met Rosemary before, he had witnessed the princes killing each other and fighting amongst themselves, with the victors killing the losers.

Intrigues and schemes intertwine, all for that one seat.

This is too cruel.

Therefore, Jiang Shuzhou plans to split the title of Emperor of the Empire into fifteen, so that each of these emperors can have a share.

To avoid arguing with each other.

As for how to complete it?

It should be noted that this was accompanied by the transmission of secret techniques and the infusion of those dream crystals.

There is still a small part of the Empire's alliance consciousness that Jiang Shuzhou can control.

It's not entirely impossible for Jiang Shuzhou to make some changes at that time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuzhou smiled.

"Heh heh heh, this thing is destined for me, it's meant to be in my hands."

The laughter was chilling, and it was hard to believe that it was a sound a human could make.
